<p>A man driving a motorbike was also killed while an 8 year old&nbsp;boy and two other&nbsp;adults including a&nbsp;policeman were injured in seperate incidents.</p>

<p>Many Indians fly kites, usually coloured like the national flag,&nbsp;as a celebration on important days like Monday&#39;s Independence day but the recent use of sharp nylon strings to cut competitor kites led to the tragedy.</p>

<p>The cheap wire, known as&nbsp;Chinese &quot;manjhas&quot; is similar to fishing line but laced with glass to make it sharper.</p>

<p>Both children were looking out of their car sunroofs when a passing kite fatally injured&nbsp;them, reported the <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi/he-couldn-t-even-shout-he-just-collapsed-and-died-in-his-father-s-lap/story-l59ikQAbqliSSYBSe6UVAN.html" target="_blank">Hindustan Times.</a></p>
